They especially hate relatively easy points in field goals

Why would the Bengals want a 6-3 lead? They’ve turned away two chip shot field goals.

It's ridiculous. They're so worried about the analytics bullshite. The problem is the analytics only factor whether you should go for it on any one particular play each in it's own bubble. It doesn't factor the big picture.

And in this case the big picture is the Bengals are in a must win and their coach keeps leaving points on the field because muh analytics says go for it.

I don’t understand doing this early in a game. You never know when you will really want those 3 points.

the analytics are only as good as the raw inputs allow, there's too much they don't account for, like specific opponents, injuries, weather, is your kicker in a slump, yada yada,

it's so stupid when the analytics pop up on the tv and say 4th and less than 4 the analytics say go, there's so much more to the decision

It’s like the high school coaches that never punt... What they don’t tell you is that he has a talent advantage over everyone. It’s easy to take risks when you’re three touchdowns better
